Paid Members Supremo Posted January 8 Paid Members Posted January 8 The amount of bonkers, nonsense, “theory,” videos that have polluted my timeline the past few days, I’m convinced you could make a successful TV show in 2026 by just filling the background of every shot with arbitrary numbers or letters that maniacs can perceive as, “clues.” Quote
organizedkaos Posted January 8 Posted January 8 My favourite one was Twin Peaks season 3. Some of them almost managed to turn the corner from "there are hidden clues for me to decypher the puzzle" to "Lynch expresses himself through some use of artistic metaphor" but most of them just got stuck on the idea that if you play one episode backwards next to another episode with the correct time adjustment you might win the treasure hunt. Yes any artistic medium including television and film may convey meaning through elements other than explicit dialogue and actions. There was an incredible blog about the costume choices in Mad Men that went into how certain colours seemed to be used to indicate where characters were mentally or stuff like stripes on costumes seemed to be used when a character felt trapped (behind bars) and stuff like that. I guess you can draw some link between Joyce's puzzles in Ulysees and what people want in True Detective/Strange Things/Reddit's latest puzzle. However it's generally always been used convey small ideas, links or accentuate the overall message. Rarely are these small moments designed to be some sort of real story escape room We don't count the Mulholland Dr. 10 clues, they were made under duress* *probably Quote

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 9 Paid Members Posted January 9 Although, of all the batshit theories and interpretations/observations of various aspects of the finale that I’ve read, there’s one that seems to make sense ; when Wills “body” was discovered in S1 they played Heroes, and Will wasn’t really dead. When Hopper “died” at the end of S3 but wasn’t really dead, they played it again. At the end of the finale they played it again - a hint for the attentive that Eleven isn’t really dead? …. Or Henry isn’t. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 12 Paid Members Posted January 12 (edited) Streets are saying the documentary they released on the making of Season 5 is an incredible open goal. Openly admitting they started filming Season 5 without finishing the scripts, screenshots fans have managed to grab of the writer’s laptops with ChatGPT tabs open. Quite funny now is when they decided it was best to collaborate with WWE. Best theory I’ve see is that one of the Duffer Brothers was married to a screenwriter, who many believe was ghost writing the whole thing, but then they divorced between Season 4 and Season 5. He obviously didn’t get the scripts in the divorce. Edited January 12 by Supremo Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted March 19 Posted March 19 For anyone that might be interested, Arrow Video are releasing the complete series on both BluRay and 4K. https://www.arrowfilms.com/p/4k/stranger-things-the-complete-series-deluxe-edition-4k-ultra-hd/17782222/?utm_medium=Youtube_post&utm_source=Organic_social&utm_campaign=Stranger_Things I believe this is the first time that they have released a TV Boxset Quote

That is for the ‘ultra mega deluxe collectors comes with a load of extra tat’ edition. Regular edition BluRay is £135 (£145 for 4K) for a 25 Disc set. I was just pretty stoked that Arrow seem to be moving into TV Boxset territory. We might get that Oz BluRay Boxset yet Edited March 20 by WyattSheepMask Quote
DavidB6937 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Yeah to be fair the price tag isn't extortionate for that kind of set. If I had the space/money to collect physical media anymore I'd definitely go for it. I'd love to see more shows get that treatment. Quote
